Identity:
What I am not - tall, leggy, blonde, ballerina-esque. Never have been, never will be. I'm okay with that.
Who I am not - shy, reserved, private.
What I am - short, chubby possessing curves. Always have been, always will be. I'm okay with that, too.
Who I am - bubbly, outspoken, enthusiastic laugher.
Who I belong to - Jesus, my husband, my children, my family - both genetic and spiritual.
What I am - daughter, wifey, mama, Seeker of Him, wannabe gypsy
What I want to be - world traveler, encourager, amazing hostess, a good listener, an even better friend, servant of the Most High, a much, much better writer, and an even better mama.
I am a Martha desiring to become more like Mary, a woman in search of who she is in Christ, a wonderer of what I can do with the gifts He's given me.
I am Jamie.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Katharine! I saw you post linked to her's, got so excited that I fogot to comment on your blog. Forgive my rudeness in my excitement!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Casey! What a sweet thing to say.
DeleteLove your sense of humor! I posess a few curves too:)This was my first time linking up too. Have a blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christina! I've lost a few of the curves (or lumps, I should say), but now I just want to keep the good ones. hee, hee.
DeleteSometimes it's hard not to focus on the "what I am not's" instead of loving the "what I am's". Glad you are okay with both!

It's true, Christy. It helped me to think out who I am by first thinking of who I am not. Backwards, yes, but ever so helpful.
DeleteHugs to you sweet friend ... because you are all that wonderful stuff and more. Have never tried typing without the backspace ... (even used it in this comment). MIght be a fun challenge for me too.
ReplyDeleteHappy day,
Sarah
